CHAPTER 5: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Description – Adds a comment or description to the wireless interface. (Range: 1-80 characters)

Turbo Mode – The normal 802.11a wireless operation mode provides connections up to 54 Mbps. Turbo Mode is an enhanced mode (not regulated in IEEE 802.11a) that provides a higher data rate of up to 108 Mbps. Enabling Turbo Mode allows the access point to provide connections up to 108 Mbps. (Default: Disabled)

NOTE: In normal mode, the access point provides a channel bandwidth of 20 MHz, and supports the maximum number of channels permitted by local regulations (e.g., 13 channels for the United States). In Turbo Mode, the channel bandwidth is increased to 40 MHz to support the increased data rate. However, this reduces the number of channels supported (e.g., 5 channels for the United States).

NOTE: .Check your country’s regulations to see if Turbo Mode is allowed.

Super Mode – The Atheros proprietary Super A performance enhancements are supported by the access point. These enhancements include bursting, compression, and fast frames. Maximum throughput ranges between 40 to 60 Mbps for connections to Atheros-compatible clients. (Default: Disabled)

Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Enabled)

NOTE: Check your country’s regulations to see if Auto Channel can be disabled.
